Ed. Register-A few weeks ago I
| asked for Information about flax in
your valuable paper. and as have not
seen or heard of any one in regard to
the article, and having asked good
many persons about fax, I have not
been able to find single person who
raises flax or has seen any Of it grow
ing in Iron County for years; and as
flax is an important article of COM
merce, and has been for ages, I thought
I would write upon the subject.
The first mention we have of flax in
all history, both sacred and profane,
was at the time the plagues were sent
upon Pharaoh in Egypt-Exodus 9-3l
land the flax and the barley was
smltten; for the barley was in the ear
and the fax was boiled. Flax was
used for clothing of kings and queens
royal plant to make royal garments.
And YOU will find all through the his
tories of the world, in all ages, that lin
en- was used by the royalty and the
rich, for they were clothed in blue and
purple and fine twined linen. And
now, when | asked about fax, | found
any number of our young folks that
are grown up to man and womanhood,
and they had never seen stalk of flax
gr. wing.
Nov, when a farmer wished to raise
crop of flax, (I am now speaking of
the women of early days, before all the
modern helps were discovered) he Sc
lected a rich piece of ground and
ploughed it thoroughly aud narrowed
it fine, then sowed the seed. If it was
| for fine linen he would plough it ae lain
and SOW it again, sometimes five or six
times, so as to get he seed very thick
and we'll mixed with the soil. When
it came up the ground would be cover
ed with one solid mass of tiny green
pla nts. Ifthe flax was for seed as well ss
for the lint. they put on less seed so the
plants would branch out and grow
about three feet high. On tie end of
each branch would be small, delicate,
blue, star-shaped flower. 1 don't think
I ever saw anything handsomer than
field Of flax in full bloom like piece
of sky spread over the field. When
the blossom falls off a small seed capsul
takes its place, shaped like bowl,
with an oval cover, filled
with seeds Of rich, glossy,
brown color, shaped something like
watermelon seed, set up edgewise
! with the points to the centre. When
these balls are ripe the flax is pulled
by hand and bound in small bundles
and set up in punches to dry. When
dry. after the seeds have been got off,
these lunches are taken to some clear,
smooth meadow and spread out in long
rows across the field like long strips of
carpet, there TO remain in the sunshine,
rains and dews OF night to rot the
woodey part of the stalk, SO that the
bark or lint can be separated. When
fully rotted the fax is raked up and
made in large bundles, which is stored
under some shed or In the barn until
such time as the farmer has to work it

Showing Up a Mountebank.

In response to our call on Rev. Sam
uel Small to return to Georgia and SUBJ
NIT to the penance provided by law for
his crimes, that reformer, from his
Plattsburgh pulpit, makes personal
attack on the editor of the Republican.
of whom he says:
He can't fool anybody; he may put on the
lions skin and run around, but he deceives
nobody. No one among the crowd will be-
lieve he is a lion. His jackass ears stick out
too far to fool anybody on that question
Laughter and applause.]
This is brgging the question. If the
editor Of the Republican were jack
ass, as Bro. Small is pleased to call
him, it would have nothing TO do with
the case. The case against Bro. Small
is ballOt-box stuffing. and it Is fully
made out by his own confession in the
following language:
was born Democrat, raised Democrat.
I studied Its principals fully. worked for
1t. l have spent money for it, / have drank
whiskey for It, ! have lied for it, have
stolen ballots for il, have stuffed boxes for
it, did all it told me, and it took me within
half mile of hell.
Now Bro. Small was no more DEM
ocrat when he was doing all this than
he is Christian when he puts himself
in danger of the Judgment by calling
out "Raka" and "thou fool" to the ed
itOr OF the republican. The mau who
habitually lies and gets drunk is =
blackguard, not q Democrat, and when
he steals ballots and stuffs boxes he is
a felon. This is what we are endeav.
oring to make clear to Bro. Small's be-
nighted intellect. Such SINS as lying
and drunkenness are between him and
no earthly tribunal, and WI do not pass
on them in his particular case. But
when he confesses to stealing ballots
and stuffing boxes, he conf-sses him.
self felon and Missouri cannot admit
his right to ne q reformer within its
limits until he has taken up the cross.
despised the shame and expiated his
crime against society in the stripes
with which society marks its outlaws
and outcasts.
Bro. Small can never seem respecta-
Bile again until he steps from the pulpit
into the penitcntiary.-Re Republican.

When the Treasury accounting off,

When the Treasury accounting Off
eials refused to allow a bill for 1852,
presented by Captain Sampson, super
intendent of the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, the sum he had expended
for wine and cigars for the Board of
Visitors, Secretary Whitney sent him
private check for the amount, as the
expense was one that had been allowed
for years. Mr.. Whitney stated in his
note that he was glad that the bill was
much more moderate than usual. In
